I would see him weekly on the main street of Rosarito with a cane barely able to drag his leg. It was because of my Assisted Listening Device that I had an interpreter to translate the details of his story straight to my headphones. He had been bitten by Brown Recluse Spiders and the skin was gradually becoming Gangrene. He wouldn't accept any money and agreed only if I allowed him to wash my car, he had great pride. Weekly I would look for him, bringing first aid supplies and a little money for food. When you can open up your heart to someone in desperate circumstances, the difference is monumental. Every person no matter what race or culture strives to feel important in this grand world of ours.
If I didn't have an Assisted Listening Device; often it would be impossible to get involved and make a difference in people's lives with the contacts I have. I depend on translations to hear the story and find out what is wrong before I can help.
It is often those with nothing that are generous with a caring, self-less attitude. I met a middle aged lady in that same area that knew him. She sat in a wheelchair selling little trinkets to whomever she could. She didn't take up much room as she had no legs at all. She had had an accident when young and survived with only her arms dragging her about when not on the wheelchair. People in that part of the world don't have the option of great technology for prosthetic arms or legs. When I couldn't find Juan she held the first-aid supplies and make sure they got to him. She was a true Angel and had a very strong belief in the Lord. That is what kept a smile on her face.
Juan has been seen by a Doctor and is receiving professional help, all due to the help of strangers. Many people are missionaries in their daily lives and I'm proud to be one of them.
GOD BLESS YOU and YOURS
